Tastefully ladylike, even when the looks were heavily embellished, this season's Lanvin collection mixed Grecian-style tailored dresses, retro full skirt looks and 80s power shoulders for silhouettes to suit a variety of bodies and tastes.

Quirky touches abounded in the Fall 2013 lineup including chain-link necklaces with the words "HAPPY" and "HELP" and glittering ankle-strap pumps. Alber Elbaz was at his best, however, with his layered ruffled looks, belted full skirt dresses, power shoulder outerwear and with his lean skirt suits.

The one major miss? A one-piece look fashioned out of a bug-print fabric.
